I own my late grandfather's favorite cardigan - a brown argyle Italian number with leather buttons. It must be at least 50 years old. He wore it every evening in cold weather when he came home from work and I always referred to it as his "Mister Rogers sweater." It will be a pleasure to sport it in honor of Fred Rogers tomorrow.

Crap. Well, first of all, it's *already* March 20th here in Australia. So I missed it. And secondly, we're just coming out of summer. It's been sweltering here for the past two weeks.

I've had a real shit day and a half that's probably not going to get much better, so in honor of Fred Rogers I thought I would put on a cardigan early, one that I've had for years. It's actually one that my wife while we were dating stole from me until one day when I did the laundry, saw it, and said, "Hey, that's my sweater!" to which she replied, "Huh, guess it is." and I grabbed it back. Wearing it this short time hasn't made me feel better about the last couple of days in the least, but remembering Mister Rogers has made me at least feel hopeful about humanity for a little while again, just like remembering him and what he did for thousands of children always does for me. For that, I just wanted to say that I'll be wearing it again tomorrow and, finally, thanks for posting this Lucinda.comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.70034-2051118Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:43:06 -0800sleepy peteBy: snsranchhttp://www.metafilter.com/70034/Wear-a-Sweater-on-Fred-Rogers-birthday#2051124

It's still <em>freeeeezing</em> here in Toronto, so I'll pretty much be wearing a sweater anyway.
But tomorrow I'll put on my favourite for Mister Rogers.
When I was a little kid, coming home for the school lunch-hour in the late 70's, Mister Rogers used to be on TV right after we ate lunch. I would love watching it and for some reason the whole idea of the trolley just captivated me. But most of the time my older brother would switch the channel to The Flintstones and call me a baby.
A few months ago, there was slim pickings at the library and I checked out the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000YT7KVE/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/">I'm Proud of You</a>, by a journalist in an unhappy time of his life who interviewed Fred Rogers and ended up striking up a decade-long friendship with him. The next morning I was reading it and sobbing.comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.70034-2051138Wed, 19 Mar 2008 17:01:14 -0800chococatBy: banishedhttp://www.metafilter.com/70034/Wear-a-Sweater-on-Fred-Rogers-birthday#2051140

<a href="http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/5943">Greatest Mister Rogers story ever:</a>
According to a TV Guide piece on him, Fred Rogers drove a plain old Impala for years. One day, however, the car was stolen from the street near the TV station. When Rogers filed a police report, the story was picked up by every newspaper, radio and media outlet around town. Amazingly, within 48 hours the car was left in the exact spot where it was taken from, with an apology on the dashboard. It read, "If we'd known it was yours, we never would have taken it."comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.70034-2051218Wed, 19 Mar 2008 18:17:51 -0800ALongDecemberBy: briankhttp://www.metafilter.com/70034/Wear-a-Sweater-on-Fred-Rogers-birthday#2051225

<em>Since the Esquire piece seems to have been removed from their site, here's another link to the greatest magazine profile that I have ever read.</em>
Many thanks, Optamsytic, and much agreed. I still remember the jolt I felt as I read the article in the magazine, and came to the part where Mister Rogers got naked at the pool. And then the gradual appreciation of what he had done as I read the rest of the article. (Because until that point Mister Rogers appeared most prominently in the National Lampoon characatures. Which, admittedly, were pretty funny: "Would you like to go to the Magic Kingdom?" "Ah, it's a little early for me, man."..."I like the way your mouth moves when you play the bass." "Man, you're easily amused."
But I digress. My appreciation for Mister Rogers crystallized later when, via MeFi, I viewed his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXEuEUQIP3Q">speech before Congress</a>, which still gives me goosebumps and makes me cry. It makes me think that carefully observing the little things, every day, and doing them right, and assiduously acting decently, can add up to a life that will have mattered when you are gone. Even if you die poor.

<em>The character was named in honor of his mother.</em>
Slight correction: The story has it that it was actually his maternal grandfather for whom Mr. McFeely was named. When he was a boy, his grandfather always told him that he made every day special just by being himself.

Well this is weird. I didn't read this post until just now, but it so happens I wore a zip sweater today -- for the first time in months.
I'm far too old to have watched Mr. Rogers, but I suppose I'll wear it the rest of the day in his honor just the same.comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.70034-2051886Thu, 20 Mar 2008 08:22:00 -0800HerodiosBy: fixedgearhttp://www.metafilter.com/70034/Wear-a-Sweater-on-Fred-Rogers-birthday#2052011
I have my favorite argyle sweater on today. Yay Fred.comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.70034-2052011Thu, 20 Mar 2008 09:45:01 -0800fixedgearBy: Zed_Lopezhttp://www.metafilter.com/70034/Wear-a-Sweater-on-Fred-Rogers-birthday#2052286
I know I watched some Mister Rogers as a lad, but I never imprinted on the show like I did on Sesame Street.
Yet reading about him now reliably gets me choked up. I just put a hold request on <i>I'm Proud of You</i> at the library.
Here's a story of a <a href="http://www.mememachinego.com/2002/08/you_are_so_special_and_importa.html">Mister Rogers rerun catching a grown-up off-guard.</a> (The link is to my excerpting it on my blog -- the original blog has gone 404.)comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.70034-2052286Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:45:18 -0800Zed_LopezBy: JohnnyGunnhttp://www.metafilter.com/70034/Wear-a-Sweater-on-Fred-Rogers-birthday#2052899
I am proud to say that I lit one up with Mr. Roger's son on a ski trip once. He asked if we smoked and when one of my buddies said yes, he replied just like his Dad, "I knew you would."comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.70034-2052899Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:43:31 -0800JohnnyGunnBy: flaterikhttp://www.metafilter.com/70034/Wear-a-Sweater-on-Fred-Rogers-birthday#2052954
I think Mister Rogers might be the only person in the universe that is completely impervious to the MeFi snark machine.comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.70034-2052954Thu, 20 Mar 2008 23:19:58 -0800flaterikBy: NolanRyanHatesMatcheshttp://www.metafilter.com/70034/Wear-a-Sweater-on-Fred-Rogers-birthday#2054297
This is a little late in the game (wore my cardigan!), but my co-worker did a little piece on <i>This American Life</i> about Mister Rogers ... <a href="http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1127" title="Mr. Rothbart's Neighborhood">it's quite good</a>.comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.70034-2054297Fri, 21 Mar 2008 23:09:00 -0800NolanRyanHatesMatches
